Very nice, I love the newspaper and the squiggly streets. Very suburbish. Looking forward to more, gabetx!

Most excellent . Three times the charm.. I love the region.. Beautiful open land to turn into concrete. LOL One thing i can do without is the GRIDS. But nontheless: Great start friend. Look forward to seeing what you do.

Lol, ya I didnt wanna get griddy at the beginning. But I realized Houston/New Orleans (the style I am trying to match with building this city) both are griddy.

That is some original photo editing, great work.

[DarkEldar 6]

Thats an excellently built city but i just think that shadow mod is to realistic for simcity, great work though keep it up!

[Simtastico 0]

great pictures! I love the thought that its a "green city".. cool newpaper too Good luck mate!

[jayo 44]

I love the freaky street pattern Great work

[jacqulina 162]

very nice start and intro my friend ,nice region there too,and great start to building

[D2629 3]

Hey that's good work! i like grids personally, but im trying to get off using them too much. I really like the layout of the town. My one little criticism is that the area around downtown should have less blank terrain and a little more development, but otherwise excellent work!

[mailandre 0]

yeah.. you are doing a good job.. but the shadows look weird.. they are too long on the terrain like if it is always sunset..

keep it up!!

[waway625 72]

whoa! those shots are among the most crisp ive seen here great work man!

[tankmank 853]

Very nice and green i like it but the downtown looks to ...maxis for my likeing but if you like it fine with me

[gabetx 1]

Thanks for the comments guys!

I like the shadow mod, but I think in half of those pictures its suppose to be night time.

Also, the city is still small so there will be a lot of maxis stuff for a while and it will be small. I am trying to keep it real.

Anyways I really appreciate your time and comments!

Keep it up.

gabetx: Looks promising, but your images are too overdone in photoshop IMO.  My eyes hurt now.

maybe I wasn't clear enough on what i meant GRIDS.....I call em GRIDS, some call em GRAPHS...Ya know...the lines and boxes on your terrain

[Schulmanator 5,799]

Nice start! The town is looking good -- very nice map and the good selection of homes and spaces is sure to be a hit with the sims!

I am not quite sure what you are talking about there my friend.  For my pics come straight from the game and are not edited one bit. Lol.

Oh, I know what you mean now, do you know how to get rid of them?

[Wheezy 23]

Very good! (Better than my crap.) I'm looking forward to the inner city.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

gabetx:

To get rid of the grid/graph, just hit "G" on your keyboard. That will clear the problem right up!

Oh, and you have a very nice looking city. I, too, like the squiggly streets!

[Ubi79 0]

That region is to die for!

[kj3400 178]

Nice start. I especially like the shadows and the greenery.

[outriderdriver 4]

It is a very beautiful region, maybe to never have highrises would be something to consider. I would love to see it fully sprawled.

Wow! Lol, you just made me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. Makes me feel special because I made that region myself!

Thank you! Thank you! and once again, Thank you!

Wow you like my region too?! Thanks. Ya, I plan on only having sky scrapers downtown. Maybe an uptown to it as well. But other then that its not going to be a Sky-Scraper-lopolis. Lol.

[mtbrocket 2]

Very nice so far. The curvy roads are great. I look forward to more.

Welcome to Page 2!

Hey guys! I am here for UPDATE 2! W00t. We are just chuggin along! Lol, just kidding.

Anyways, thank you guys so much for the support and feedback! 29 replies is amazing after just one update! I really appreciate it guys, I wouldnt be able to do this withoug your support and motivation. Just remember, I enjoy making this as much as I hope you enjoy watching.

Anyways, to UPDATE 2!

The city is now at 37,000 or so people and is booming. A lot is going on around town and people are clamoring for an airport.

The newspaper has the full story: (Or at least of what I could fit on the front page, Lol.)

This took me about an hour or so. No biggie.

Anyways, on to shots of the city.

Tridelton is among Americas top 5 fastest growing cities. It has gained 12,000 people in the last 6 months. The city has no signs of slowing down either. This and much more to come on the next newspaper, so keep your eyes peeled.

Now, recent shot of the CBD. This area is rapidly growing and is in high demand.

The new Tridelton School District Multi-sport complex stadium. This will be featured in the next newspaper as well with details.

Newly developed area less than a mile east of downtown.

New warehouses, Intersection with fast food and grocery store, and neighborhood.

Close-up of newly developed diagnol neighborhood. (Trying to break the grid!)

Commercial development along I-73

My first night shot of downtown

Its nothing much. But hey, what do you expect? The city only has 37,000 people.

The whole city  view. Snow storms all around.

Updated transportation map.

Well, that'l wrap it up for now guys! Hopefully I can squeeze an update in either on Tuesday or Wednesday.

I thank you guys for taking your time to visit! Once again thank you for the wonderful comments guys and suggestions.Keep them coming!  As always comments and constructive criticism welcome!

I hope you enjoyed this update!

Until next time, take care!
